1.3.5. Self Assessment

In this unit was shown how data formats, information amount and techniques like tiling and caching influence the map response. Discuss the two following map examples in the discussion board "Data Formats" of this lesson. Justify why you would use a raster or vector format and how that would influence the usability of the map. Therefore write a small comment (300-500 words) stating the differences of the two maps (map type, number visible layers, ...), which data format should be choosed and justify why.
